The Glories HATS Project®

The Glories HATS Project® (GHP®) elevates compassion and empathy in adolescents and develops their process management and critical thinking skills to prepare them for a healthy future and lifelong learning.

GHP® is an out-of-school-time service-learning activity specifically designed for engaged learning, school-community partnerships and family involvement.

GHP® links program sites to children's hospitals in "hands-on" team activities and virtual connections to offer peer support to sick children. Peer-support has the greatest impact on feelings of well-being and positive outlook in hospitalized children with well-being and outlook related to health outcomes.

GHP® goal is to quantify the value added that teen support provides, how it extends hospital resources, and document the psycho-social response of hospitalzed children.

GHP®then reports these outcomes back to participants to increase their feelings of self-efficacy, personal agency, initiative, and community connectedness.

GHP® positions teens as the "sole" source of this highly respected commodity. and provides them with the opportunity to experience pure success.

This commodity is a Glories hat "filled with happy thoughts!" The process of creating Glories hats and the GHP® program curriculum provide youth with an "on-ramp" to strengthening their health literacy, understanding of process management, masterey of 21st Century Skills, development of workforce competencies and build entrepreneurial mindsets in preparation for fast-changing job market.
